Unofficial Results of OB Planning Board Election

Here are the “unofficial” results of Wednesday’s election of the Ocean Beach Planning Board:

District 4

There is no winner as there is a tie between Craig Klein and Marissa Spata. The Board Election committee is awaiting for direction from city staff;

District 5

Jane Gawronski was re-elected;

District 6

John Ambert was elected.

There were apparently no winners in Districts 1, 2, 3, and 7.

In District 1, incumbent Dan Dennison did not run, so there were no candidates on the ballot. And there’s a vacancy for the other seat (each of the 7 districts have 2 seats; often one of them is vacant and be filled with an appointment by the Board to an eligible applicant who for some reason or another did not make the ballot).

In District 2, no one ran for the vacant seat.

In District 3, there were no eligible candidates who filed their paperwork in a timely fashion, but we understand that that incumbent Pete Ruscitti plans to request an appointment at the next meeting.

In District 5, there is a vacancy which can be filled with an appointment.

In District 7, the seat currently held by Valerie Paz was up for election, but we are also still awaiting more details.

So there you have it – the unofficial results of the OBPB election.

New officers will be selected at the April meeting. Also at that meeting, applicants could be appointed to the vacant seats.
